TIMBILA blazes ecstatic African rock with an East Village edge. The trance of African spirit possession merges with the trance of free-spirited head-bangers. The surreal buzzing beauty of timbila (Chopi xylophone, Mozambique) and hypnotic dream melodies of mbira (Shona thumb piano, Zimbabwe) soar with stinging guitar riffs and sassy celestial vocals in grooves that are deeply funky, fierce and danceable. No other band sounds like TIMBILA:
NORA BALABAN - mbira, timbila, vocals
BANNING EYRE - guitars
DIRCK WESTERVELT - bass
LOUISA BRADSHAW - vocals
ED KLINGER - drums, vocals
